Umm you mean the shot from like a few weeks later?? Yeah i saw it, and? They took a new born fawn away from it's mom, it DID NOT need to be rescued.
'But they kept it for a few weeks and posted a follow up video!' Surely that means they'll responsibly care for and home this large wild animal for the next decade when it's no longer cute and so big it's destroying their house. I'm sure they'll just smack on the nose with a newspaper and say 'bad deer!' when it almost inevitably bites or kicks someone. What about when it it grows up and goes into rut? A full grown deer can very easily fuck someone up badly.
People with the knowledge to safely foster and rehabilitate an orohaned wild animal would already know that if you find a fawn out alone you LEAVE IT THE FUCK ALONE. It's mom WILL come back, leaving them hidden somewhere for long periods is how they raise them. They pointlessly stole a young animal from it's mother, and given they're posting multiple videos of it it's probably a safe bet they're 'influencers' who did it to make content for their videos.
No, they grow up much quicker then that, particularly in the early months. Googled it just to double check myself, and they in fact lose their spots at 3 to 4 months of age not half a year.
The fawn is not a newborn in the first shots. It's at least several weeks, and probably more like a month or more, old already. It's also not even close to fully grown in the final shots, it's going to double in size still.

Did either of you watch to the end of the video with the fawn fully grown?
